I'm no longer a pet owner but I found this thread interesting. I hear this all the time: pets are to be cherished, but they are not human and hence not as important. I dunno how I feel about that, are we superior? We are supposedly more intelligent but a lot of ppl esp in masses are an annoying, idiotic and sometimes dangerous bunch; in contrast, it's only when one meets individuals and gets to know them that there is the possibility for a real connection.
Maybe some ppl don't want to admit it, esp if their choice was to be made public, but I really doubt that if asked which life they would spare and the other will be killed, would they save their pet or some random dude on the street?
